Captivate WITHOUT Data Plan?

[manlisten]

I am using my Captivate unlocked with a T-Mobile pre-paid, no data plan. Everything works fine over wifi.

I upgraded and I had the medianet data plan on my E71. I made sure to load the international rom before I put my att sim in my phone. Still enjoying my unlimited medianet data and messaging

Ok, I'll bite. How do we get AT&T to turn off data to our Captivates?

I am too interested. Is there any way to get a better deal on a data+sms combo perhaps?

Hey everyone! Hopefully I will go to the at&t store to pick up my Captivate tomorrow. However, I have a problem.

You see, my family has 5 members who have phone line, 2 of which have data plans. My father has a data plan and is content with his iphone 3gs and is eligible for an upgrade. So, he plans to pay $250 for a new Samsung Captivate that will SUPPOSEDLY be for him and his line. However, he is going to give it to me instead, and I don't have a data plan.

Is there any way I could unlock my phone in the sense that I can use it without a data plan? Like can I have 3g turned off 24/7? I plan to get my phone rooted, does rooting automatically do this/allow me to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I realize this is 2 years old, but I CAN confirm this does work, but only on a custom rom with mobile data turned off and 2g ONLY, no 3g
